R2005-93 AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER

Home Browse Search

- This project was put together with alternate bids for asphalt or concrete pavement to replace the existin; concrete pavement. A broad approach to evaluating the contrasting pavement sections suggests that concrete pavement will have a useful life approaching 40 years. The pavement desi� for �9 asphalt will have a useful life approaching 20 years to which an additional 15 to 20 years can be added through the application of a 2" asphalt overlay at around the 20 year point. The $46,461.82 added cost for concrete over asphalt will be worth the added cost over the 40 year estimated life span of the pavement. Staff recommends the selection of the concrete alternate for the reconstruction of the Country Manor subdivision pavement. Beniach Construction Company, Inc. provided the low bid for the proposed work. Staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract with Beniach Construction Company, Inc., to construct a concrete pavement in the Counhy Manor subdivision. The bids received for this project have provided an opportunity to increase the curb and �utter replacement on the project to 100% as opposed to 25% - 30%. This increase in curb and �utter removal would be in the form of a Council authorized change order which will add $45,000.00 to the project. The complete replacement of the curb and ;utter will provide a better overall project and will still be within the budgeted expenditure for Counhy Manor street work. A second project is proposed for this subdivision in Fiscal Year 2007 that will complete the s�eet reconstruction work in the rest of the neighborhood. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution and bid award. � INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell, City En;ineer, at 424-2747 Travis Stanley, Civil Engineer I, at 424-2747 The City En�neer, Matt Newell, will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item.
